Park Hyatt Tokyo · NishishinjukuPicking the best hotel in Shinjuku comes down to the kind of Tokyo trip you have in mind. Right in the heart of the district, for views and film history, we recommend the freshly restored Park Hyatt Tokyo, high up in the Shinjuku Park Tower. If you want the nightlife on your doorstep, stay at the Bellustar Tokyo, some 200 meters above Kabukicho.After a 19-month restoration, the Park Hyatt Tokyo has been welcoming guests again since December 2025. Its 171 rooms and suites now carry the signature of Studio Jouin Manku, with bathrooms laid out as generous wet rooms, and the new brasserie Girandole by Alain Ducasse serves everything from breakfast to a late cocktail. If you knew the hotel before, you’ll find New York Grill & Bar, Kozue and The Library back in their original design.
Hyatt Regency Tokyo · NishishinjukuJust a few hundred meters away, the Hyatt Regency Tokyo finished its biggest makeover since opening in September 2025, without ever closing its doors. Around 90 percent of the rooms are new, including Studios for up to four guests. Beneath the three crystal chandeliers of the atrium lobby, the Nineteen Eighty Lounge & Bar has poured afternoon tea and cocktails since April 2025, and since August 2025 you order at the cooking stations of Crossroads Kitchen, where each dish is finished before your eyes.
The newest hotel in this selection has crowned the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower since May 2023, Japan’s first skyscraper designed by a woman, the architect Yuko Nagayama: the Bellustar Tokyo, on floors 39 to 47. It has just 97 rooms, each with seven-meter-wide windows, plus the Sky Private Villa with five penthouses; the biggest, Penthouse Sora, measures 277 m².
Within Shinjuku itself, only one of the four luxury hotels has a pool; the other pools are at the hotels further east. Almost all of them are indoors, several high above the city.
The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho · KioichoAbove the rooftops: at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, the pool is 30 floors up, 140 meters above street level, looking out over the city; the indoor pool is free for hotel guests aged 13 and over. At the Park Hyatt Tokyo, the pool of around 20 by 8 meters sits on the 47th floor beneath a glass atrium more than 14 meters tall, with a sweeping view of the skyline.
With an open-air whirlpool: three lanes, 20 meters, heated: the pool at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu is on the 14th floor, set in an atrium two stories high; outside there are a whirlpool and a terrace with views all the way to Tokyo Skytree. Hotel guests swim here free of charge from age 18, teenagers aged 13 to 17 with a parent.
In the garden: at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, you swim in daylight in a warm pool that is open in any weather; when the sun comes out, the roof slides back. The Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main adds the Garden Pool in summer, an outdoor pool in the middle of the Japanese garden, and in the club area of the Garden Tower, hotel guests can use an indoor pool for a fee.
If you’re traveling with children and looking for a 5-star hotel in Shinjuku or nearby, it helps to know the age rules: at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, children aged 4 to 12 can swim between 8 am and 6 pm, The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho has a minimum age of 13, and at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu teenagers aged 13 to 17 swim with a parent. Our travel advisors will check before you book what works for your family.
In Shinjuku: at the very top of the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, on the 47th floor, the Bellustar Tokyo has SPA sunya, named after the Sanskrit word for sky; treatments use natural ingredients from all over Japan, changing with the season. At the Park Hyatt Tokyo, Club On The Park spans the 45th and 47th floors, with seven treatment rooms including a couples’ suite, marble whirlpools, saunas and cold plunge pools. The Joule Spa & Wellness at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, on the top floor, looks out as far as Mount Fuji on clear days.
Bellustar Tokyo · ShinjukuFurther east: at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, the spa on the 30th floor pairs Swiss Perfection treatments with baths, a sauna and a relaxation room; the baths are free for guests on the club floor, in Grand Deluxe rooms and in suites. At The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, Carju Rajah TIADO focuses on meridian massages rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, plus a salt bath and a gentle mist sauna at 55 to 60 °C; it is closed on Mondays. At the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, you bathe in an onsen fed with water from the hot springs of Ito on the Izu Peninsula.
At the Park Hyatt Tokyo, evenings belong to the 52nd floor: at New York Grill & Bar, famous from “Lost in Translation,” Chef de Cuisine Ben Wheeler serves Kobe sirloin and tomahawk steak from Akagi beef beneath murals by Valerio Adami. At Kozue, Nobuhiro Yoshida cooks modern Japanese food inspired by kaiseki, served on ceramics and lacquerware made by artisans, with a view toward Mount Fuji.
The Capitol Hotel Tokyu · NagatachoAt the Bellustar Tokyo, you dine on the 45th floor beneath a 13-meter ceiling that spans three stories: at Restaurant Bellustar, Munehiro Takesue cooks French cuisine with ingredients from Japan’s regions. For a more intimate evening, there’s the nine-seat counter of Sushi JIN-E, closed on Mondays, and Teppan Ten-yu with ten seats.
Further east, three addresses are worth the trip. WASHOKU SOUTEN at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, on the 35th floor, builds its Japanese cuisine around the theme of ice, with sushi and teppanyaki counters and a sake bar. Suiren at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu sits in an annex by the garden and brings four Japanese cuisines together under one roof. And at the Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main, Tour d’Argent Tokyo carries on the Paris institution whose history goes back to 1582, open Wednesday to Sunday, jacket required, for guests 16 and over.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
For the evening: a private staircase leads from the lobby of The Capitol Hotel Tokyu up to its Capitol Bar, where a high counter looks out over the atrium and garden toward Akasaka. At the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, the rooftop bar 86 on the 17th floor mixes Prohibition-style cocktails, with a terrace and views over Shinjuku. For afternoon tea, head to Le Jardin, the lobby lounge of the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, overlooking the garden, or to the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, beneath the crystal chandeliers of its lobby.
At the Bellustar Tokyo, the 100 US dollars of hotel credit apply to food and drinks, for example at the sushi counter or at Bar Bellustar, 200 meters above the city. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu and the Park Hyatt Tokyo give you 100 US dollars of hotel credit. If you’re looking for a 5-star hotel in Shinjuku for a gourmet evening, let our travel advisors reserve your table at the same time.
Ahead of the 1964 Olympic Games, the Japanese government asked for more hotel beds, and so the Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main opened in September 1964 on the former estate of the Fushimi-no-miya family. Until 1968 it was the tallest building in Tokyo, it had a role in the James Bond film “You Only Live Twice,” and the G7 summits met here in 1979, 1986 and 1993. Together with the Imperial Hotel and the Hotel Okura, it is one of the Gosanke, the city’s three great traditional hotels.
Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main · KioichoThe Capitol Hotel Tokyu also stands on historic ground. In 1963, the Tokyo Hilton opened on this spot as the first hotel of a foreign brand in Japan; from 1984 it was known as the Capitol Tokyu Hotel, and in 2006 it closed. In October 2010, the new building in the Tokyu Capitol Tower followed, designed by Kengo Kuma, on the hill where Kitaoji Rosanjin once ran his exclusive restaurant Hoshigaoka Saryo. Works by Shiko Munakata and Toko Shinoda moved over from the old hotel.
Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo · BunkyoAt the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, the story goes back to 1878, when Prime Minister Yamagata Aritomo had a villa and garden laid out here and named them Chinzanso. After the damage of the war, Fujita Kogyo replanted the grounds and opened a garden restaurant in 1952; the hotel followed in 1992, first as a Four Seasons and since 2013 under its own name.
Two luxury hotels in Shinjuku show how its western side grew into a district of towers. The Hyatt Regency Tokyo opened in 1980 as Hyatt’s first hotel in Japan, then called Hotel Century Hyatt, on the site of the former Yodobashi water purification plant; the three crystal chandeliers in its eight-story atrium became its trademark. In 1994, the Park Hyatt Tokyo moved into the top of Kenzo Tange’s Shinjuku Park Tower as Asia’s first Park Hyatt, and nine years later Sofia Coppola filmed “Lost in Translation” here.
Michelin Keys recognize hotels, not restaurants. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, next to Hie Shrine, holds two Keys. One Key each goes to The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho and, in Shinjuku, to the Park Hyatt Tokyo and the Bellustar Tokyo, so both sides of the station have an award-winning luxury hotel.
In the Forbes Travel Guide, The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho and The Capitol Hotel Tokyu hold five stars, the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo and the Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main four. In 2025, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu also received the Forbes Travel Guide Star Bars Award for its bar, and for responsible hospitality it carries the Forbes Travel Guide VERIFIED Responsible Hospitality seal.
Other lists name these hotels too: in its Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026, Travel + Leisure ranks the Bellustar Tokyo tenth among Japan’s best city hotels, its third award in a row. The garden around the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo has been certified by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment as a sustainably managed natural site.
The station splits Shinjuku into two worlds, and just a few stops further on, Tokyo suddenly turns quiet. So choose your luxury hotel in Shinjuku by the pace you want for your days.
Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo · Zentralpark ShinjukuNishi-Shinjuku, the west side: this is where the skyscrapers stand, along with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and its observation floors and Shinjuku Central Park. Our tip for views is the Park Hyatt Tokyo, on floors 39 to 52 of the Shinjuku Park Tower. The Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo is near Bunka Fashion College, a 12-minute walk from the south exit of JR Shinjuku Station. Right next to the Government Building and facing the park, you stay at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, one minute from Tochomae Station; a shuttle bus runs to the station’s west exit.
Kabukicho and the east side: across the tracks, the nightlife begins, with the tiny bars of Golden Gai, the department stores of Shinjuku-sanchome and Shinjuku Gyoen, so this is the side to pick if you want the nightlife on your doorstep. Here the Bellustar Tokyo rises high above Kabukicho, a few minutes’ walk from the station; the airport limousine bus from Haneda stops right in front of the tower, and the ride takes around 60 minutes.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Kioicho and Nagatacho: a few subway stops east lies the quiet government district near the Imperial Palace and Akasaka. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho sits high above Kioicho on the top floors of a tower, and from The Capitol Hotel Tokyu next to Hie Shrine you step straight into the subway network: Tameike-Sanno and Kokkaigijidomae stations are directly connected. The Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main is set in a 400-year-old Japanese garden of about ten acres.
Bunkyo: it is green and quiet around the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo in Sekiguchi, a ten-minute walk from Edogawabashi Station on the Yurakucho Line. The airport limousine bus from Haneda, around 60 minutes, and from Narita, around 90 minutes, stops right at the hotel.
Nishi-Shinjuku is an office district by day and grows quiet in the evening; from the upper floors of its towers, you can see Mount Fuji on clear days. The east side around Kabukicho and Shinjuku-sanchome stays lively late into the night, with Shinjuku Gyoen right next door. Our travel advisors will help you find the side that suits your plans.
Rates run from 129 € at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo to 430 € at the Park Hyatt Tokyo; half of the hotels cost no more than 312 € a night.

When the benefits apply: at seven hotels from the first night, at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo from two nights. The upgrade is usually given on arrival; at the Park Hyatt Tokyo and the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, it is confirmed at booking, though not from a room to a suite.
The hotel credit varies, so check the details. It is usually 100 US dollars, for example at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho and at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu; at the Bellustar Tokyo, it applies to food and drinks. The Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main adds 25 US dollars for food and drinks. A welcome gift awaits you at seven of the eight hotels.

The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, the Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main and the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo belong to I Prefer, the program of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. The Bellustar Tokyo is not part of any program.
Shinjuku through the seasons: in spring, the cherry trees bloom in Shinjuku Gyoen, and in fall the maples and ginkgos turn red and gold. If you want a 5-star hotel in Shinjuku for cherry blossom time, book early. In summer, the Garden Pool at the New Otani opens and fireflies glow in the Chinzanso garden; in winter, the air is often so clear that Mount Fuji shows itself from the upper floors.
Good to know: on January 30 and 31, 2027, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu closes entirely so that its emergency power system can be replaced. At The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, the spa and fitness center close for annual maintenance from January 7 to 14, 2027, and the pool from January 7 to 13.
How long to stay: for a 5-star hotel in Shinjuku, we recommend three to four nights – for the towers and lanes around the station, a morning in Shinjuku Gyoen, an evening in Kabukicho and a day in the quiet neighborhoods around the Imperial Palace.

That depends on how you travel. If you’re after peace and attentive service, stay at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho. For views and film history, we recommend the Park Hyatt Tokyo; for nightlife on your doorstep, the Bellustar Tokyo above Kabukicho. And families love the wide garden right outside at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo.
Nishi-Shinjuku if you want views and a short walk to the Metropolitan Government Building (recommendation: Park Hyatt Tokyo), the east side around Kabukicho for nightlife and Shinjuku Gyoen (recommendation: Bellustar Tokyo). For a quieter stay, head a few stops east to Kioicho and Nagatacho (recommendation: The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho or The Capitol Hotel Tokyu).
The Bellustar Tokyo in Kabukicho is just a few minutes’ walk away. From the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, it’s a nine-minute walk to the station, and a shuttle bus also runs to the west exit; from the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, it’s twelve minutes to the JR south exit.
In Shinjuku itself, the Park Hyatt Tokyo, with a pool on the 47th floor beneath a glass atrium. Further east, the pool at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho is on the 30th floor; The Capitol Hotel Tokyu offers a heated 20-meter indoor pool plus an open-air whirlpool, and the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo a warm pool with a retractable roof.
Since December 2025, the Park Hyatt Tokyo has been back after its restoration, now with the brasserie Girandole by Alain Ducasse. The Hyatt Regency Tokyo completed its major renovation in September 2025, and the Bellustar Tokyo has welcomed guests above Kabukicho since May 2023.
The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, next to Hie Shrine, holds two Michelin Keys; The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, the Park Hyatt Tokyo and the Bellustar Tokyo have one each. Michelin Keys recognize hotels, not restaurants.
Yes, at seven of the eight hotels: World of Hyatt at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, for example, Marriott Bonvoy at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, IHG One Rewards at the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo and I Prefer at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu. Because suitespot books at direct rates, points and status nights count as usual.
At the top end is the Park Hyatt Tokyo, with rates from 430 € a night, followed by the Bellustar Tokyo from 367 €. For less, you can stay at the Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main from 195 € or at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo from 129 €.
If you’re traveling with children, we recommend the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo: it offers babysitting, set swimming times for children aged 4 to 12 and plenty of room in the garden. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu also has babysitting, and guests from 13 to 17 may use its pool with a parent. In Shinjuku itself, the Hyatt Regency Tokyo has Studios for up to four guests.
If you’re traveling with a dog, the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is the one to book: it has rooms for guests with pets and a private dog park. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu also accepts pets, and at the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo in Nishi-Shinjuku pets are welcome, even on the terrace and in the lounge of the District restaurant.
The easiest way is the airport limousine bus: from Haneda, it stops right at the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, home of the Bellustar Tokyo, after around 60 minutes. Buses from Narita and Haneda serve the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, and the ride to the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo takes around 60 minutes from Haneda and around 90 from Narita; the hotel can also pick you up by car on request.
